MSI Intros MAG CoreLiquid AiO Liquid Coolers

MSI insists it will do nothing less than to "drown all opposition" with a first own-branded liquid cooler range-- the MAG CoreLiquid, a series consisting of four models, the 360R, 360RH, 240R and 240RH.

To differentiate the coolers from the competition, MSI highlights how the pump is integrated into the radiator, a decision the company says dampens the sound of the overall assembly and reduces noise. The pump in question uses a three-phase motor built right into the core, something MSI says further reduces vibrations. Meanwhile construction is in "high-quality materials," with three-layer netted plastic tubing and a reinforced mesh exterior.

The Narrowest GPU Water Block From EK

EK Water Block presents a variant of the extent compatibility high-performance water block designed for Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards based on the reference design-- the EK-Quantum Vector Direct RTX RE Ti D-RGB.

The version of the water block has the terminal removed. Instead the fittings are screwed directly into the top, allowing for a narrow enclosure and adding compatibility with space-constrained cases. The water block still uses the EK single-slot slim look, and covers the entire length of the PCB. The base of the block is CNC-milled out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is machined out of cast acrylic. EPDM O-rings ensure the sealing, and pre-installed brass standoffs allow for easy installation.

AMD Takes on Gaming Laptops With Ryzen 9 4900H

AMD reveals a pair of laptop CPU additions to the Ryzen Mobile 4000 range-- the flagship Ryzen 9 4900H and 4900HS, both designed for high-end gaming laptops such as the upcoming Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.

As the only two AMD notebook APUs featuring Ryzen 9 branding, the two processors pack eight cores and 16 threads, together with 8 cores of integrated Vega graphics. The standard H model offers 45W operation with 3.3GHz base clock and 4.4GHz boost, while the HS runs at 35W allowing for 3GHz clock speed able to boost up to 4.3GHz.

Intel Processors Hit With Load Value Injection

Intel Processors Hit With Load Value Injection

The same team of researchers behind the discovery of microarchitectural attacks such as Meltdown, Spectre and Zombieload uncover yet another exploit lurking inside Intel CPUs-- Load Value Injection (LVI), a flaw allowing "reverse Meltdown" attacks.

Discovered on 4 April 2019 and reported to Intel before public disclosure on 10 March 2020, LVI turns previous data extraction attacks and defeats all existing mitigations at both software and hardware levels. According to the researchers, this makes LVI "much harder to mitigate" compared to previous attacks, and can affect just about any access to memory. Intel was involved with the disclosure, and says it affects Atom, Core and Xeon processors, as well as the newest Ice Lake (10th Gen) chips and even the upcoming Tremont Atom core.

Corsair Dresses Coolers in White

Corsair announces versions of several cooling products in a "beautiful white finish"-- specifically the iCUE QL RGB Series fans, the XC7 RGB CPU water block, the XD5 RGB pump/reservoir combo and the XD3 RGB small-form-factor pump/reservoir combo.

Described by the company as nothing less than the "definitive RGB cooling fan," the iCUE QL RGB series PWM fans feature 34 RGB LEDs, with four light loops (two in front, two in the back) putting the lighting on display regardless of it being used as intake or exhaust. The white version is available in single or multi-fan kits of either 120 or 140mm size, and the multi-fan kits include an iCUE Lighting Node CORE RGB lighting controller.

EK Intros EK-Vardar X3M 120ER Fans

Slovenian PC cooling specialist EK Water Blocks announces the EK-Vardar X3M 120ER-- an update of the 120mm EK-Vardar fan featuring removable rubber dampers on the corners and addressable a-RGB LED lighting.

According to the company, the EK-Vardar X3M 120ER is a high-static pressure cooling fan aimed at the highest-performance computer systems. The removable rubber dampers reduce vibration (and thus noise), and while pre-installed for use in push orientation, customers can remove and mount them the other way for pull orientation. Further reducing noise is a "perfectly balanced 7 fan blade design" optimised for high-pressure operation. Fan range clocks at 500-2200rpm.

Intel Teases Lakefield Hybrid CPUs

Intel Teases Lakefield Hybrid CPUs

An Intel blog post details the manufacturing process behind Lakefield, an upcoming Core processor featuring "hybrid" technology-- specifically a means to mix power-efficient Tremont cores with a performance-scalable Sunny Cove core.

Dubbed Foveros, the process stacks components in three dimensions, making something of a silicon layer cake (if one just 1mm thick). Such packaging technology allows Chipzilla to "mix and match" technology IP blocks with various memory and I/O elements in a small physical package, allowing for "significantly reduced" board size.
